Because kitty will pounce on anything that moves underneath the covers. ;-)
A past friend of mine did that...she called it her “breathing foot”. ;o)
So THAT explains why I usually have slept with one leg under the covers and one leg outside.
What nonsense!
My temperature always goes up at night. That was always a problem when at hospital - I was kept once for an extra day because of that.
If I go to bed and my feet are cold, sleep will not come. With temps in the 80s outside during the day, if I feel like a nap I cannot get to sleep unless my cold feet are under a heavy down comforter.
Jack Daniels might help.
That’s why I don’t understand the American way of sleeping, with the bed clothing tucked in at the bottom of a bed like we are to be slid into the bed as a quarter into a pants pocket.
I sleep the European way, with a duvet that can allow one’s feet to breathe.
one foot on the ground also helps keep the room from spinning.
I don’t know how or why but a year ago I started sleeping with a pillow under my feet. Now, if I didn’t have that pillow, I would be fairly miserable.
My wife asked me about it. I said I don’t know if it helps or hurts my health but you better make sure I am buried with one or I’ll be back to haunt you.
Already knew.
Regulates body temp.
At home I never tuck the covers in and the first thing I do in a motel room is untuck everything.
If you are 6’5” you pretty much sleep this way anyhow.
“Keep one foot, or both feet, outside of your blanket”
I don’t believe it — my feet get cold if they are not covered.
Oddly, I’ve always done that. I can’t stand to have my feet under the covers except under very cold nights. Ditto for wearing socks to bed. I just get overheated.
I also like to always have a fan blowing on me, even if I have the A/C on.
i wonder if this is the study Beanie was talking about...

What’s this ‘sleep’ you’re talking about?

Our family doctor back then (late 50's) said, in general, hungry = healthy and I stayed in good health.
To this day I still enjoy sleeping extra cool. Standing order: "turn the A.C. cooler and hand me another blanket."
No trouble trying to fall asleep when you're more anxious about getting warm.
I’m sorry, but any time I hear someone use “hack” in these terms, it just sounds so low information, idiot Millenial who can barely do anything for themselves. (And voted for Obama twice, live at home at their parents, and can’t understand why they dont have a job, and why Obamacare is not free, etc.)
"Now I lay me dow to sleep,
I pray the Lord, my soul, to keep,
If I should die before I wake...wait...what?"
